Ty Lue has agreed to a deal with the LA Clippers to become a top assistant coach on Doc Rivers' staff, the former Cavaliers coach confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday night.
Lue was a top candidate to become the Los Angeles Lakers head coach until negotiations broke down earlier this summer. Lue wanted to coach LeBron James again -- the pair helped produce an NBA championship in Cleveland in 2016 -- but the coach and the Lakers could not agree on contract terms before the team ultimately decided to hire Frank Vogel.
